{"product_id":"speckled-war-paint-morph-scolymia","title":"Speckled War Paint Morph Scolymia","description":"\u003cp\u003eScolymia, sometimes called Button Coral or Doughnut Coral, are cherished LPS corals in the reef-keeping hobby for their distinctive patterns and relatively easy care. This particular specimen is a Speckled War Paint Morph, showcasing a blend of colours and unique speckling that adds visual interest to any display. This piece measures approximately 4cm.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eScolymia corals typically grow as a single, large polyp, forming a dome or disc shape. Their fleshy polyps expand significantly, often obscuring their skeletal structure. The Speckled War Paint Morph exhibits a captivating interplay of hues across its surface, often with contrasting spots or flecks that define its \"speckled war paint\" designation, creating a vibrant focal point.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eScolymia thrive under moderate to low lighting, ideally around 50-100 PAR, and prefer lower, indirect water flow to prevent tissue damage and allow full polyp expansion. Placement on the sandbed or a lower rock shelf is usually best. They are enthusiastic eaters and benefit from target feeding small meaty foods like mysis shrimp, brine shrimp, or coral pellets several times a week, especially in newer tanks or when growth is desired. Stable water parameters are crucial: calcium 400-440 ppm, alkalinity 8-10 dKH, and magnesium 1250-1350 ppm. They are generally peaceful but should be given adequate space, as their fleshy polyps can sting neighbouring corals.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a WYSIWYG item, so you'll receive the exact specimen pictured.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlease note that colours can look slightly different in person than in photos, depending on your lighting and screen, and the size given is an approximate guide measured at the time of listing.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Eastern Marine Aquariums","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50224945692727,"sku":"EMA-LPS-20260924-LAFY","price":650.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1849\/1739\/files\/a62ae51d-9371-4233-b4cf-ad451651e0b4-_MG_5172.png?v=1790281362","url":"https:\/\/easternmarineaquariums.co.nz\/products\/speckled-war-paint-morph-scolymia","provider":"EasternMarine Aquariums","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
